It can happen to you

Was hired right before pandemic. One of my trainers took a job in marketing. He was a staple of launching the Cologuard test and excelled at all levels. Then he ran into one of the new marketing managers with next to zero experience out of California.
She is one of the worst managers, and possibly one of the shadiest people, that I’ve met at this company, and unfortunately this company keeps hiring inept managers. Seems to be the norm now.
Because he called out her ineptitude, she placed him on a PIP and he ended up hitting all the parameters and got off the PIP. She wasn’t happy.
Drummed up new allegations and got him fired. No warning. This guy has been here since the beginning, and now fired by a new manager with less than a year experience. And his exit was cold and apathetic. Told to be on TEAMS call on a Monday, only to find HR jump on the call and fire him. He wasn’t allowed to comment or defend himself. Lost computer access about 5 min after. His RSU’s vanished. Car gone.
This guy trained me and my colleagues here at Exact and is as sharp and confident as they come. Not only that but he was super personable, approachable, and fun.
The toxic culture here is spreading like a fungal rash. Don’t bother giving this company any extra effort whatsoever because these new hires don’t care and will get you fired in a second. This company won’t even stand in their way or attempt to defend you in the least. it’s an absolute shame this guy was let go, and the next time it could just as easily be you.
Exact doesn’t look like Exact any longer.
 






While the story you lay out is true, the culture isn't bad in every part of the country. There are a lot of great sales leaders in the different markets.

But it does sound like most of what is happening in Madison leadership wise is crap. I'm disappointed that HR didn't see the retaliation component and protect this individual

Heard about this.
Upsetting to say the least.
This was one of our BEST employees, and old management NEVER would have allowed this to happen.
Just goes to show that when your manager isn’t qualified to manage, the LAST thing you want to do is call them out on it.
 






You’re talking about Brad Davidson right? The dude who almost got in a physical fight at a NSM? The dude who was always fucked up at meetings? The dude Jim Dama wanted to fire 2 years ago? What kind of loser gets put on a PIP in a corporate job???? A rep who doesn’t work gets put on a PIP, not someone who is supposedly top talent enough to get a marketing job. Rumor has it he just couldn’t handle the job.

Sounds to me like little Mr. disgruntled got his feelings hurt because his manager had ex…ex…expectations.

The wonderful new Exact culture is backstabbing and insecurity. I have heard more rumors and gossip this year than ever before, people trying to make themselves look better at the expense of others.

Being a good trainer doesn’t make you a good Marketer. And, if you were to “call out” your AM for being bad at his/her job, what do you think would happen to you? Your job isn’t to evaluate or critique your manager. Your job is to just do your job. BD thought he was untouchable, and he was wrong. Tough lesson to learn, but I bet he learned it.

Been to many meeting with BD, he was never “fucked up” at meetings. Jim Dama never wanted him gone I just friggin asked him. This poster needs to pull their head out of their ass.

Not necessarily, I’ve known many reps who worked their asses off and were put on PIPs by managers that simply didn’t like them. They wait until an “off” quarter and bam you are on a PIP.
Are we really requiring our marketing department to be top talent? Laughable.

You must also be referring to the Seattle manager.
 






Uh I want to hear more about him being drunk and getting into fights!!

This is what NSMs made for these moments and I never heard anything about it!!

MORE PLEASE!!!
That's what the unlimited alcohol at NSM's is for. You're supposed to get into fights. That's what young white men who went to the university of Wisconsin do!
